flag California nonprofit director arrested for diverting $23M in homeless aid to luxury expenses.

flag Alexander Soofer, 42, executive director of the California nonprofit Abundant Blessings, was arrested on federal wire fraud charges after allegedly diverting more than $23 million in government funds intended to help homeless people for personal luxury expenses. flag Prosecutors claim he spent the money on a $7 million home, a luxury vehicle, private school tuition, travel, and high-end shopping, while participants received only basic meals such as ramen and canned beans. flag Authorities claim he falsified documents, formed a fictitious board of directors, and misrepresented payments to conceal the scheme. flag The case, which is part of a larger federal effort to combat corruption in homelessness funding, raises concerns about oversight of public spending. flag Soofer could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
